Try the build slave locally
This overlaps in part with HowToUseSoyuzLocally which I found out about too late.
Build the package
cd lib/canonical/buildd debian/rules package dpkg-buildpackage -b
Package is lib/canonical/launchpad-buildd*all.deb
Set up pbuilder chroot
To avoid installing the launchpad-buildd package on my computer, I use pbuilder to create an manage a chroot environment.
Make sure you have pbuilder installed:
sudo apt-get install pbuilder
If archive.ubuntu.com is too far away from you network-wise, you can configure MIRRORSITE in /etc/pbuildderrc to use a mirror that's faster for you. Then do
sudo pbuilder --create --distribution lucid sudo pbuilder --login --save-after-login
Now you should find yourself inside the chroot. To satisfy the NTP needs of the launchpad-buildd, define it to be the IP of ntp.ubuntu.com or whatever NTP server you like.
echo "91.189.94.4 ntp.buildd" >> /etc/hosts exit
After exit, the chroot will be re-packaged by pbuilder to save the changes. You might choose to save other steps as well but usually I configure the chroot whenever I run it, like so.
sudo pbuilder --login --inputfile lib/canonical/launchpad-buildd*all.deb
Inside the chroot again: Install and start buildd:
dpkg -i /tmp/buildd/launchpad-buildd*all.deb apt-get -f install /etc/init.d/launchpad-buildd start
We need a package to try out the generation of translation templates. Eventually this will be pulled in via bazaar but now I do it manually. Obviously, this is specific to this type of build. Inside the chroot edit /etc/apt/sources.list to enable the deb-src line. Then pull in a source pacakge. Gimp has a couple of translation templates.
apt-get update cd /home/buildd su buildd apt-get source gimp
Upload chroot to librarian
Outside the chroot, in another terminal (leave the buildd in the chroot running!) Get the builder chroot from https://edge.launchpad.net/api/devel/ubuntu/lucid/i386/chroot_url. We need a running librarian now.
make run (make start_librarian didn't work) scripts/upload2librarian -f chroot-ubuntu-lucid-i386.tar.bz2 --> http://launchpad.dev:58080/93/chroot-ubuntu-lucid-i386.tar.bz2
Copy that URL for the next step.
Drive slave through rpc
With the libranrian still running, fire up a python shell.
python
>>> import xmlrpclib
>>> proxy = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('http://localhost:8221/rpc')
>>> proxy.ensurepresent('f1f10b8402ed686aaf0307676c76f07b45af2a09', 'http://launchpad.dev:58080/93/chroot-ubuntu-lucid-i386.tar.bz2', '', '')
>>> proxy.build('1-1', 'translation-templates', 'f1f10b8402ed686aaf0307676c76f07b45af2a09', {}, {'branch_url': '/home/buildd/gimp-2.6.8'})
>>> proxy.status()
>>> proxy.clean() # Clean up if it failed
Inspect buildlog
Inside the chroot:
less /home/bulidd/filecache-default/buildlog
